I Changed the oil in My G, My moms Camry, Dads Altima, My Jeep and GF's Jeep!

I then Cleaned the K&N filter with the Cleaner Kit from K&N on the G and on the Jeep

Had to pick up a friends truck, jump start it and then drive like an hour to meet him to take a rental truck back to enterprise!

Then my dad got sent home from work after his company got audited! His residency card had expired like 12 months ago and they just found the problem lol! Had to pay 200 bux to a lawyer to get him into the USCIS office today! And had to pay 370 bux to have his residency reinstated! (parents are really having financial trouble for the last 2 years! I have been helping out by paying their mortgage each month... 1540 dollars later! )

After all that It hadn't rained and I said well Im going to wash the G really quick... 5 hours later Its done!

I Vaccumed, Cleaned and conditioned the leather, cleaned all the windows, armoraled the dash and wiped down all the doors!

Got the pressure washer out and cleaned under the hood and then put spray wax on everything and let it dry! (Trick I learned to give the motor and all the under hood area that shinny wet look)

Then I moved to the outside! I washed, then Claybared the G, Washed again, Dryed it, l then took a polishing compound and buffed the car with a buffer, I washed it again to get all of the residue off, Dryed again, applied 3 coats of polish, and then applied a coat of Tech Wax all with the buffer, I then used the Tire wet for the wheels and Chrome polish for all the Letters and Logos as well as the door trim and handles. I used Back to Black for the door mirrors (The flat painted portion). Then I used the RainX on all the windows. The last thing i did was apply PlastX to the head lights.

The car looks so good. I have never seen a black car with that kind of shine! It looked like BLACK WET GLASS! I have never had my G looking so good!

There is only one problem! It got to dark to take pictures...

I will take some in the morning or in the after noon some time with my D80... I might take it by the lake or the ocean to get some really good shots lol!

Cool,

Can't wait to see the pics... black looks the best when its clean. It also looks the worst when its dirty. Black shows any imperfection too....

I wish my G was black :-(

Well maybe if it wasn't 120 degrees everyday

I like the park, the car

Looks awesome, nice job. Some day when the balls drop I'll take a buffer to mine. I need a practice car to figure out technique.

I'm down for that as I havent washed or waxed my car in awhile and when i say that i mean like two months because it has been raining almost everyday here in the Brandon east Tampa area. When it ceases to rain everyday we should plan something for sure...i can't imagine how she would look all clay bared, waxed and polished up.

Send 'em on over. Don't use the email in my account, use [email protected]. Send them in their native resolutions and I'll take care of it from there, and if you have RAW files those work best since JPEG is compressed. If you want any particular sizes in case you want prints, let me know.

I pulled this thread up on my good monitor and not my laptop. Just realized the pic I did was a tad blue because I did it on my laptop...I always do that . When I do them for real, they will be done on my good monitor. JPEGs are fine, nothing wrong with them...looks to be in a very high resolution. I might be able to get to them tomorrow night, if not definitely Thursday night you should have them back.

Well Tampa!!! Nice work bro

I can't seem to find time to rub and lavish my G like you, I need a day off, I'd post up some more pics too...

What do you use to apply the Rain X? and PlasX?

I recently polished my headlights, it got rid of all that nasty film, I just need a good clay bar before I proceed with a full car polish, oh, and time to do it

I've got my altima all pimped up now, I got it mid July... lol So my $$$ is tight because I just bought new exhaust, K&N filter (drop in) JVC MP3 player, clear tailights/ headlights, Fusion 10" with 300w amp, and 4 x 6.5" 150w 3 way pioneer speakers...

The altimas have the worst stereos so I started with these first... I'm also looking to remove the resonator in the intake today or tomorrow
